If you’ve always wanted to know more about animals, Bindi Irwin is the little girl to ask. Each month, Bindi will write about a different animal and answer readers’ questions in the magazine.

In May, Bindi tells you all about the crocodilian family and how keen she is to help them survive.

Pick up a copy of the May issue of The Australian Women’s Weekly to read more about crocodiles and see below for information on how to ask Bindi your most pressing wildlife questions.

Answer

Good question, Sam. They don’t eat exactly the same food. Freshwater crocodiles eat smaller things, such as fish and insects, and saltwater crocodiles eat bigger things, such as small reptiles and mammals. It also depends on their size and the availability of food. Here at Australia Zoo, they all eat similar food, just the portion size varies.
